Publisher's Synopsis
Gathers poets of diverse ages, styles, languages, and tribal affiliations to present the extraordinary range and power of new Native poetry. Heid E. Erdrich has selected twenty-one poets whose first books were published after the year 2000 to highlight the exciting works coming up after Joy Harjo and Sherman Alexie. Collected here are poems of great breadth - long narratives, political outcries, experimental works, and traditional lyrics - and the result is an essential anthology of some of the best poets writing now.
